Sounds like a wife to me.

They seemed to primarily promote features that assist with everyday driving; I would think that something like this would be more useful as a tool to allow you to confidently make trips to places that you've never been before without ever opening up a map.

The other stuff would be occasionally mildly useful, but frequently just nagging and bothersome.

^ Yeah, like I wouldn't know how to get to the gas station or supermarket.

But the traffic information would be useful, if there was any way they could actually keep it current.

So basically, it records where I go, and what I do? And who can access this information? Where does it update from? Does it send a recording of where I go (for advertising) or how fast I got there (law enforcement)? Sounds like 'big brother' sort of device.

*Conspiracy ?

While, most driving aids do alot of this stuff already, what does this device really do? If you dont know how to tell when your car's fuel supply is low; you have confirmed that your to stupid to use a car in the first place. If you dont know of major events (like a fair) going on in your city, you dont read the newspaper enough. That simply shows your uneducated, and should not have a car to drive in the first place. And if you dont know how to get to your place of work, after the 58th day....your an idiot.

I could see, if this device was for rental cars, or those used for those not familar with the location's area.

Such a device would die within a week in Boston, MA. Massholes would tear that junk out of the cah (yes, cah).

Invocations (conspiracy) cannot be called by Nithern because Nithern is not privileged - sorry.

I agree that it would be great for rental cars or people new to an area. Not sure why it has to be a robot, though. What if I wanted to make use of a variation of the technology that would aid walking, biking and using public transit? I wouldn't want to lug it around. Perhaps they could add legs and it could walk around with you and carry your stuff. That would be innovative.
